International Online-Lecture: Best Practice in Recruiting from an Internal and External Perspective

Whether your company is growing or you’re experiencing employee turnover, finding the right hire for your job opening helps your company succeed. Choosing between external and internal recruiting depends on various factors, including your current talent and your needs for the new position.

At the same time future talents and in particular Gen Z want to have a positive impact on the world around them and – unless other generations Gen Z will not want to wait until retirement for that. They will seek job opportunities that enable them to bring their whole self to work and to contribute to their own passion and purpose.
